Hs 126 loss on 10-Aug-1943

In one of III. Pz.Korps diaries (T312/201/00569) I found following entry -

10/8/1943 FS SS-Div. Totenkopf
1430 Uhr eigene Hs 126 über Alexandrowka südl. Bogoduchow abgeschossen. 2 Mann Besatzung auf russ. Gebiet abgesprungen.

What came as the surprise is that there are no Aufklärer losses, that I am aware of, recorded on that day, instead Hs 126 (1151) of 1. Störkampfst./Lfl.4 was missing in Pl.Qu. 5178/35 Ost (close enough to the place from Totenkopf report).

Can anyone confirm there were no further Hs 126 losses in the area on 10-Aug-1943? The only other unit in question would probably be 5.(H)/32.

regards,
Pawel
